Is this the End of Pcad?

Here's a little hint: if you ever find out you have prostate cancer, there will be NO symptoms. Trust me on this. Your PSA will come in high on an annual health exam, if you are even getting that blood test like you should be every year.
I know something about this bull****. Trust me on this. I've been going to clueless urologists for 25 years. They are all clueless. But I do know my symptoms are consistent with benign conditions.

You really are clueless. Leave the healthcare to the urologists. Of course they are also clueless.

We walked three miles on the MUP today with Sam. I was passed by dozens and dozens of freds and sub-freds. But after half an hour my back stopped hurting and I felt better, worked up a good sweat, it was pretty warm. Sam didn't want to keep going, I had to kick his doggie ass. He listens to PDaddy. My wife can't get him to do anything. Sam knows that PDaddy don't play that.
I was surprised about how easy a dog can overheat. I've seen a few dogs already past heat exhaustion, and into heat stroke. One key symptom is vomiting when drinking a little. Also super fast shallow panting.
Tell Sam I said .

An old guy I ride with was finally diagnosed with the same thing. He'd been miserable for a long time with the pain. He's been on a regimen of PT and stretching and he's been in MUCH better condition.
The flip side, apparently this condition is similar to what can happen to women after childbirth.

Is Pcad too big to fail?

Actually, size maybe relevant. Maybe just too big = fail.
Let's say Pcad's issue is soft tissue...overuse. Load path maybe bad.
Too much weight + poor saddle fit... seat height a bit high, setback maybe contributors.
Cycling by its nature of repetition leads to injury if everything isn't right.
PS: Shimano is speculated to be working on a pain damping device that interfaces with its Di2...targeted for older riders like Pcad who can afford electronic shifting. Small needle like probes are placed into pain centers of the body and a rider can shift up or down depending on pain level during a ride.

Not all urologists are clueless, as in any field however some certainly are. So I take it the answer to the Sports Med Orthopod/MRI is no? Certainly that, the sports doc, should go before the MRI. And BTW very few people are actually diagnosed with prostate cancer because their psa goes up, most I see it's the first time it's measured. Of course the Feds are now saying don't do psa for screening(speaking of bull****). Anyone good luck with the rehab.

Strong smell of elitism in this thread. I for one would welcome the chance to ride a tricycle.
